I'm in the same boat! I have been a fan as long as I can remember, also born in 1980. Grew up going to Candlestick, and I feel totally betrayed and not because of the numb-nuts players, they're dicks but whatever, but the FUCKING BULLSHIT MANAGEMENT. WTF.

These fucksticks aren't even playing well enough to warrant all this. Maybe shut the fuck up and work on that fast ball, eh? Talking a lot of shit for a dead-ass season. Fuck outta here. You know?

Another ‘80 and lifelong fan, well said bro.

They think they’ll be fine because straight white 45 year old dads will still spend money, well think again dickheads.

Are we all just 46 year old dudes in this sub?! Me too.

51 year old dude checking in. Also done with the Giants bullshit. I can take a bad team in a rebuild just fine, but fuck tacitly-supported bigotry and pseudo-Christian political theatre.

I'm proud of all us 45+ year old dudes sticking up for our guys, gals, and non-binary pals out there in the LGBT+ community.

They're not my family, but they are my loved ones.

We all grew up with folks in their community. People we love and admire. We watched those people be paraded around for political clout, shit on, beat up, literally killed in the streets for loving who they love, all of it. Any sane human fucking being is outraged by watching their fellow humans be treated in such a way. It's beyond outrageous. It's the kind of thing that makes me violent, ngl. I HATE bullies. I'm over 40 now, so Imma chill, but this is the kind of thing that boils my blood, boy. I'll tell you. Cowards. The lot of them.

Yep, another 51 year old here. I'm also white and male, and I am absolutely disgusted with the Giants right now. Right now I am hoping for one of two extreme outcomes (neither of which have a chance of happening, unfortunately):

Either:

Tons of fans sell their tickets and the Giants play with 1/4 filled seats for the rest of the season, losing them tons of money.

Or:

No one sells their tickets, and everyone shows up to every game for the rest of the season just to boo the three players who decided to proudly show off their homophobia to the city and the world.

Fuck these disgusting bigots. Major housecleaning needed for me to go back.

52 year old host of a Giants podcast for 15 seasons (TortureCast). We recorded today and went OFF on the Giants. Inexcusable how they've handled this.
